Articles highlighted via Slashdot.org/games today:

The Morning News: The 2004 Good Gift Game Guide. Gives reviews on board games for adults. The criteria for this list are that they are easy to learn and play, fun for everyone (Even the loser) and have little "downtime." I was surprised to not see any of the Out of the Box games listed.

Fun Again Games gives us the 100 best games from 2004, as ranked by Games Magazine. You can also get previous years' data. Lots of games with bad box art that look pretty fun. I think I might like "Words of Wiz-Dumb" on page two.

BoardgameGeek : looks like what LUGnet is to LEGO fans, this site has all the boardgame-lovers' needs covered.

Seattle Spiel : a community blog for all the board game makers and fans in and around Seattle. See, Fay, see? Maybe if you didn't always say my game invention and playing was such a problem, I'd take you with me when I go. We could live in your favorite city and hang out with even bigger dorks!
